Dubai Life is a multiplayer 3D life simulation set in modern Dubai — where ambition, lifestyle, and financial sustainability collide.
Every player starts as a newcomer arriving at DXB Airport on a 30-Day Visit Visa with starter savings.
Your mission is to build a thriving life in Dubai: balance your daily living costs against your income, keep your 6 real-time needs healthy, upgrade your Visa tier before your clock runs out, and climb from a shared Deira Bed-Space to a Palm Jumeirah Signature Villa.
Everything happens in a shared real-time city: when you walk into a venue, work a shift, host an apartment party, or open a 3D Pool table, other real citizens are right there with you — and co-presence multiplies everyone's rewards.
1. Set your Sustainability Blueprint: Choose your housing tier, daily food plan, and transport mode in the Visa & Budget tab so you know your exact daily burn.
2. Visit a place in the city: Tap any landmark on the map (like The Dubai Mall, JBR Beach, or Dubai Frame) and step inside.
3. Enrol or get a job: Open Dubai Academic City (/academics) to start a course OR open your Phone → Jobs to apply for a career.
4. Meet someone or play a game: Chat with a citizen in a venue or play a quick game in Game City.
💡 Insider Tip: Never let your bank balance hit AED 0 before 09:00 GST! Keep at least 7–14 days of runway while you get your first job.

Sustainability Loop
The 09:00 GST Living-Cost Tick & Runway
Every day at 09:00 Dubai time (GST), the city settles your living costs based on your chosen Sustainability Blueprint.
Daily Burn = (Monthly Housing + Food Plan + Transport Plan) ÷ 30.
Runway Days: Shown in your Life Panel (Balance ÷ Daily Burn). If you have AED 3,000 and burn AED 150/day, you have 20 days of runway.
Offline Protection: If you're away for several days, the Welcome Back card summarizes what was charged, what passive venture/rental income you earned, and gives you a 1-tap action to fix your budget or renew your visa.
You can adjust your Blueprint anytime in Life Panel → Visa & Budget to cut costs if money gets tight or upgrade your lifestyle when you're rich.
